In a nutshell, cats cannot be vegans or vegetarians. Due to their obligate carnivorous nature, cats require meat in their diet.

Many people in our modern world are starting to think about changing their pets' diets to plant-based diets and it is becoming more popular. There are a variety of reasons for this, including moral, ethical, or health-related ones.

However, owners should consider the hazards before considering feeding their pets a vegan or vegetarian diet. In the end, giving your pet any food that does not satisfy their nutritional requirements is probably going to result in long-term health problems.

The issue is that cats have a far poorer ability to digest and use carbohydrates than dogs and humans, and as a result, they have a much higher requirement for protein. Furthermore, a cat's diet must include taurine, an amino acid that is important for many of its key cells and organs, including its heart.

Due to the fact that cats are unable to produce taurine on their own, they must eat it. They can only get it through the proteins derived from animals as it contains taurine, which is crucial for healthy growth, vision, and immunological function.

This implies that cats require meat in order to obtain essential elements that aren't found in plants. If fed a plant-based diet, cats can get quite sick and the facial expression of this cat says it all.

Certain companies produce vegan cat food that typically contains synthetic taurine as an additional ingredient.
